* Gold was detected in solutions at mole ratios of Au-lys from 20 to 60. The 60 Au-lys solution had the highest concentration of gold. This agrees with UV-vis data obtained on [[User:Melissa_Novy/Notebook/CHEM-571/2012/11/06|2012/11/06]]. However, no peak or a slight peak was visible on the spectrum of the 20 Au-lys solution. This is corroborated by the fact that the AAS detected that the solution contained 0.0057 ppm Au.

* It can be assumed that the fibers formed in the rest of the Au-lys solutions at mole ratios from 70 to 130 encapsulated the gold, such that there was no free gold or gold nanoparticles in solution. Theoretically, the gold concentration in these solutions was zero, but the AAS registered negative concentrations due to the fact that it was blanked with 1 N HCl, as opposed to deionized water.
